Convert Boolean to String - A Java Code Example

To convert a boolean value to a String you need to use the wrapper class of the boolean datatype.
It has the same name as the datatype boolean, but it begins with the captial B - Boolean.
To convert a boolean value you create an instance of the wrapper class sending the boolean value as argument to the constructor.
Then you simply call the toString() method which will return a String representation of the boolean value.

/**
* Main.java
*
* @author www.javadb.com
*/
public class Main {

    /**
     * Boolean to String conversion
     */
    public void convertBooleanToString() {

        boolean theValue = true;

        //Do the boolean to String conversion
        String theValueAsString = new Boolean(theValue).toString();

        System.out.println(theValueAsString);
    }

    /**
     * Starts the program
     *
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Main().convertBooleanToString();
    }
}
